DETREVNI

Dear insansapinas, May 28 to June 12 is National Flag Day.

Some people say that critcizing the inverted flag in the government web site is trivial. Wrong Virginia.

I was taught since I was in the elementary leading the students to sing the National Anthem while the flag was being raised that the inverted flag (red on top) signifies that the country is at war. When it is hoisted on a half mast, the nation is grieving for the passing of a great man or a tragedy that befalls the nation. That when it is too old to use, it is burned instead of being discarded in a trash bin.

Malacañang's effort to promote National Flag Day this Saturday was not off to a good start, at least on the Internet.

While the Office of the President's website encouraged Filipinos to display the Philippine flag from May 28 to June 12, it displayed the Philippine flag upside down, inadvertently indicating that the Philippines is at war.

About the Blog

This is a blog about the adventures and misadventures of a Filipina in the US of A who wants to save the world from clutches of evil but is too lazy to don her costume. It also includes her reminisces of her journey of life in her birth country. Sinimulan ko ito ng 2004 at pansamantalang iniwan ng magbukas ako ng marami pang blogs katulad ng Now What, Cat?. Ngayon na pinahihinga ko ang aking pusa, dito naman ako nanggugulo.
